In the City West with the Kurfürstendamm, the urban transformation of the western center becomes tangible. For a long time, the historic center and projects in the eastern districts were the focus of public and private investment.

New high-rises for hotels and offices are under construction or already completed, shopping centers, art galleries, new cinemas, and innovative research, education, and business clusters have sprung up. At the same time, the district is a growing residential area with a social mix, where gentrification is not a foreign word.

The tour illustrates the historical and current background of the current changes and shows innovative projects.
